There are as many stabilizers on the market as there are types of coffee drinks at a gourmet coffee shop, and choosing which stabilizer to use can be just as overwhelming as ordering a latte for the first time. But we’re here to help, with our handy guide to the types of stabilizers available and how to use them in your fiber art.

The fundamental purpose of a stabilizer is quite simple—to support fabric, thread, or embellishments for sewing. But there are so many types and so many uses. There are wash-away stabilizers that rinse out in hot or cold water, cut-away stabilizers, tear-away stabilizers, and stabilizers that vanish completely when heat is applied. It all depends on your project or your preference. Learn about all your options and figure out which is the perfect match for your projects when you download your free eBook today!
